Over the years, the chaotic weather patterns over interior Australia have left amazing patterns and colours visible only from above.
Local photographer David Taylor – who is a man of the land and a fifth generation cattle breeder - took to the skies in his four-seater plane and captured the raw beauty of Australia’s interior. Working in collaboration with his son Rowand – also an accomplished photographer – the two embarked on a project to capture Kati-Thanda (Lake Eyre) in early 2016.
The photographs of lakes, rivers, deserts, and remote wilderness reveal unexpected colours and patterns, captured the energy of our changing landscape to remind us of the vastness of Australia.
“Nature is our supreme ruler… Nature will always have the last say.” - David Taylor
